The Hellcat will be a big deal to the automotive world until the next "big Hp car" comes out. I mean, "Seven-oh-Seven" - dude that's a lot of power for an over-the-counter car. But, if you're not a Dodge person, Ho-Hum in a month or two. Corvette is coming out with their big boy soon! There is an article in Hot Rod magazine about this - talking with the Ford Person-In-Charge-of-Engines. Ford does not have an answer to all this massive Hp - yet/publicly. So, when they bring out their whiz-bang engine in a year or so, we can slip them into our Panteras: 800Hp in our 3,100# cars. Then either the oil crises hits, or carmakers decide to cut back on Hp, a la 1974+ America - leaving us on top of the heap!!! Any other questions? ---Bill (crate motors with 800Hp are cool) Lewis

Hellcat Charger weighs 4,449 pounds with 707 horsepower.
That calculates to one horsepower for every 6.29 pounds.
Given a Pantera weight of 3,100 pounds, to match the Hellcat's 6.29 ratio would require only 492 horsepower.
So who is going to be first to go out and spank a Hellcat?
